To test our hypotheses, we designed a DSS- induced colitis model in C57BL/6 male mice. Apparent metrics were evaluated in each group of mice and performed histological analysis of relevant tissues. The gut microbial composition was analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing of bacteria. Simultaneously, the SCFAs content was detected by gas chromatography, inflammatory factor secretion was evaluated by ELISA or western-blot, the expression of tight junction protein and key proteins of the MAPK signaling pathway were analyzed by western-blot. Our result showed that the treatment with XSQ alleviated significant various symptoms such as weight loss, blood in stool, and shortening of colon. In addition, XSQ treatment restored the dysregulated gut microbiota in colitis mice, increased short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and normalized the MAPK/ERK/JNK signaling pathways, promoted expression of tight junction protein Occludin, Claudin-1, and E-cadherin proteins. Furthermore, we also observed a dose-dependent pattern in these treatment responses.

This study employed an HCoV-229E virus-infected mouse model to investigate the therapeutic potential and underlying molecular mechanisms of DYY on virus-induced pneumonia. The respiratory function and organ indices post-treatment were assessed. Lung tissue and tracheal lesions were evaluated via immunohistochemistry.

Inflammatory cytokines and viral loads were quantified using hypersensitive multiplex electrochemiluminescence method and PCR analysis, respectively. The expression levels of MAS1, Ras, Raf1, MEK1/2, and ERK1/2 in lung tissues were determined through western blot analysis. DYY significantly improved respiratory function, and reduced organ pathology in infected mice. It effectively decreased viral loads and inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α in lung tissues. Enhancements in immune response were evidenced by increased CD4/CD8 ratios in the spleen. DYY also notably upregulated MAS1 protein levels and suppressed the activation of the Ras/Raf1/MEK/ERK signaling pathway.

Paeoniflorin (Pae), a bioactive monomer derived from total glycosides of paeony, has shown potential in treating various diseases. However, its anti-acne effects on human sebocytes are not well understood. In this study, we investigated the effects of Pae on acne development induced by IGF-1 in SZ95 sebocytes. Following IGF-1 stimulation, SZ95 sebocytes were exposed to Pae and then determined for proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis, lipogenesis and pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion. We also analyzed the expression of proteins involved in the PI3K/Akt/FoxO1 and JAK2/STAT3 pathways. In vitro experiments demonstrated that Pae significantly inhibited colony formation, induced G1/S cell cycle arrest, promoted apoptosis, inhibited lipogenesis and cytokine synthesis in IGF-1-treated SZ95 sebocytes. Furthermore, Pae suppressed the phosphorylation of Akt, FoxO1, JAK2, and STAT3. Importantly, the sebo-suppressive and anti-inflammatory effects of Pae were enhanced by blocking PI3K and JAK2. In summary, our findings suggest that Pae has potent anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects in SZ95 sebocytes.
